Visit The San Buenaventura City Pier

Monday, March 18, 2019

The sandy beach at Ventura Pier is the main central beach of Ventura, California. The San Buenaventura City Pier is an old structure on wooden pilings that attracts fishermen and tourists who visit the Ventura waterfront. This is one of a popular beach spot. No matter what time or day there's usually someone is surfing in the water below or walking the pier from paved Ventura Promenade pathway to Surfers Point Park.

For access to Ventura Pier Beach from downtown just head toward the ocean on California Street and you’ll get to the pier. There is a large parking structure next to the Crown Plaza Ventura Beach Hotel just off Harbor Boulevard. Another option is the northern parking lot for San Buenaventura State Beach which is right behind the beach. Restaurants are available on the pier: bikes, beach chairs, and body boards are available for rent at the pier seven days a week in summer and on weekends in the winter month.

The pier is a great place to watch sunsets or really to walk at any time of the day.

Visit the Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga Tennessee

Monday, July 30, 2018

The Walnut Street Bridge is an old railroad bridge that has been refurbished into a pedestrian bridge. It was built in 1890 that measure 2,376 feet long, this is one of the "Longest Pedestrian Bridges in the World". It connects Chattanooga's revitalized downtown with the now-thriving North Shore district across the Tennessee River. The views from the bridge of both shores and the river itself are simply beautiful and cannot easily be described -- you'll just have to see it for yourself!

What's cool about the Walnut Street Bridge is its design which incorporates many iron trusses that form perfectly symmetrical triangles all around. The trusses were painted in light blue. The floor of the bridge is covered with wooden planks giving it a boardwalk feel. The bridge is wide and spacious a great way to get exercise, see awesome views, and enjoy Chattanooga.

This bridge is a great way to cross Tennessee River by foot or bike.

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Monday, June 26, 2017

For those of you who are not familiar (just like me) , Santa Cruz is known for its beach and for the Boardwalk. If you look up top things to do in the Bay Area, you are sure to see visiting the Boardwalk as probably one of the most recommended activities to do. Especially in the spring and summer time when it's bright and the water is at a good temperature. This is our first time to came across the Beach Boardwalk in California, When driving down here, be prepared for traffic. Even though getting to Santa Cruz is relatively quick from the South Bay (it's around a 45 minute drive from San Jose), there's going to be a lot of cars when you get into the city. This is because everyone comes down here for a fun day at the beach.

The boardwalk has a bunch of everything to offer to everyone as it's by the beach just an awesome place to chill with an amazing array of all kinds of different rides in their radical beach park!
